The County Jail.

Jailer Newbert is having the interior of
the County Jail. and also the jail-yard,
kitchen, bathroom, etc., thoroughly cleaned
and reprinted. The work is well advanced,
and visitors are greatly surprised and
pleased with the appearance of the prem

his term IN the institution, should certainly
go away with his ideas of Cleanliness and
neatness greatly improved. In cleaning
tine cells, winch are formed of heavy boiler
IRON, 1t was found that the floors of many
OF them were in very bad condition and
unsafe, the iron having rusted so badly
that In several of the cells there are holes
IN 1t, and near these holes large pieces
could easily be broken out. At present
there are not many prisoners in the Jail.

there IS no knowing when the number of
occupants will be greatly increased, nor
how desperate in character the prisoners

custom to have any rust that had formed

done more damage than if the paint had
not been applied.

FIRE YESTERDAY MORNING.
destruction of Woodshed, and Narrow
Escape of a Church.

1 Oestruction OF WOodshed, and Narrow
Escape of a Church.
About quarter to yesterday morning
| members of Engine Company No. saw q
bright light, as OF fire, in the vicinity o!
Sixth street, and the apparatus was imme-
diateiy brought out and started for that
locality. 1t was found that James McKay's
Sixth-street woodward, between X and L
streets, opposite the NJ. E. Church, was in
flames. Although the fire had evidently
been IN progress for several minates, there
was scarcely any one to be seen. The fire
had been discovered short time prior 10
the arrival OF the engine, however, BY some
parties passing who did not know where
an alarm box was located, and conse-
quently no alarm, except by outcry, was
gwen until after No. l was in service. Mr..
Mckay and one or two other men were
asleep in the office of the woodward, and
the discoveries of the fire aroused them
by kicking in the door. The building
was an old one, loosely put together,
and burned like finder, the blaze spreading
SO rapidly that two of the three horses in
the stable lost their lives, as also did Mr..
Mekay's dog; large wood wagon was
burned and buggy damaged The fire.
men were powerless to do more than pro-
tect adjacent property. The Presbyterian
Church, frame bdilding situated a few
yards from the burning mass, was in great
danger, but escaped with slight damage to
the roof and the scorching of its paint.
John Breuner's buildings, on the corner of
the alley, opposite the fire, were energeti-
cally protected by his employees, who got a
hose upon the roof and turned the water
where 1t would do the most good until the
hremen could come to the rescue. The
entire woodward building was DESTROYED,
together with considerable wood One OF
the horses lost, fine animal, belonged to
ohm Cravens, a Waterman at the State
Capitol, and the other to Mr.. Mckay. The
latter had an insurance of $500 on his prop
erty, but estimates his loss at more than
double that figure. The building was
owned by Joseph Bauquier, Sr., and was
insured for 500. 1t was not an ornament
IN that portion of the city, and will proba-
bly, be replaced by something of better APP
pearance. Much surprise has been ex-
pressed that the fire was not discovered
and an alarm given sooner. 1t appears
that the police officers on downtown beats
saw the light, but thought it was further up
town, and did not turn in an alarm for fear
OF misleading the firemen, and moment
ailly expecting to hear the bell strike The |
uptown officers thought the fire too far
down for them to give an alarm. None of
the force were within four or five blocks of
the fire. Captain Karcher says he passed
the woodward ten or fifteen minutes before
the ire broke out, and observed nothing

Baseball To-day and Tomorrow.

celebrated Los Angeles Club, which is now
making tour of the State, will meet the

players in their nine, and since they were
strengthened by the signing of Hapeman.

nave been playing excellent ball, as the
Clubs that have visited the City of Angels,
including even the HaVerlys, can testify.
they doubtless have as strong a team with
them on this trip as they could muster and
the Atlas will have hot work cut. out for
them. There will be several changes in
the home nine, Rooney pitching. Powers
catching, Mclaughlin playing first base
and Mullee in the field. But one train will
be run to the Park, and it will leave the
depot at 2 o'clock.
Inc morning game tomorrow will be
between the AGNES and the E. & o. Els.
which will be called at IL o'clock sharp.
The afternoon game will be between the
Alias and Pioneers, and desperate
struggle may be anticipated. Romeo Barry
Will probably make his advent as official
umpire and as soon as he gets his hand
IN strict discipline will doubtless be en-
forced among the players. The new rule
as to coaching" and allowing only the
captains OF mines to make claims or COM
plants, should cause the games. to be less
noisy and to proceed more rapidly. The
Hussar band will give concert as usual.
prior to the afternoon game 1t NAV be
mentioned that one ticket of admission
serves for both games. Those who desire
10 reserve seats IN the special stand can do
so at Houghton's.

He did so, as follows:

nothing to do with the murder, but really
wanted to see him TO get him to sign
a new deed, clearing up some defects in the
title to the EberlIe mine in Idaho, which |
bought from him long before there was
any good development of ore. NV bust
ness with him only related to this, and the
whisky drank caused the combining of

provided with new suit from head to foot,

representations of drunkard began to
open their eyes. When parted from Dave

How Is It to be Dome ,

Some one started a report recently that
Governor Bartlett would probably resign, if
his health should continue to be SO poor
that he could not attend to the duties of his
office. correspondent writes the RECORD
UNION: l am not assuming that it will
be necessary for Governor Bartlett to resign,
but the thought occurs to me, to whom
will he send his resignation If the Legis-
lature was in session, it would doubtless be
sent to that body but there will not be a
session for over sixteen months. The new
Constitution provides for filling the office
In case OF the death OF the Executive and
in case it otherwise becomes vacant; but
the possibility of Governors resigning
does not appear to have occurred to the
trainers of the instrument. Would it be
sufficient for the resignation to be sent to
the Secretary of State ?" The question is
an interesting one, which possibly some
one learned in law and politics will an

hearty reception was accorded Edward
Harrigsn last evening at the Clunie Opera
House. The play Old Lavender" pre-
sents many amusing, as well as pathetic
scenes, each of which was effectively pre-
scented. The play affords Mr.. Harrigan an
opportunity to present some of his best
bits of character acting. He impersonated
the pathetic picture of the generous heart
ed hero in the last act to perfection.
The play is full of interest, aside from
the merits of Mr.. Harrigan's performance.
The stage settings were appropriate and
the diversified performances, including the
Owl Club Social, the travelling Ministries
and the Jolly boatmen, all presented fine
entertainment, and afforded large and Sc
lect company an opportunity to display
themselves in their best roles. The large
audience expressed itself satisfied by nu-
merous recalls and encores.
The musical productions of the evening
were fully in keeping with the excellent
rendering of Old Lavender" Mr.. Dave
Braham deserves credit for having secured
well-drilled orchestra, one which the pub
lie can fully appreciate.
